I'm officially Full term (37 weeks)

I saw OB last night. He didn't give me #'s. But I'm 2 cm dilated and my cervix is super soft. Last time checked I was 1 cm but cervix was thick and long.
He said if it were my first child he would say I got ways to go. Since its my third I can go at any minute. I also lost the plug this morning.
I don't know how encouraging that is or not. I got a note for work to stay home. I'll turn that in once I get some stuff done in the office.
Wednesday will be my last day at work until I come back from Maternity Leave.

No baby yet!

This is the longest I've been pregnant. I'll be 36 weeks on thursday. I bet my husband I wasn't going to make it and he bet I would.
Now I'm starting to believe that I'll be full term for once. I actually can't wait to have the baby. I want to start working already.
My back is seriously killing me and its harder and harder to walk.

I got everything ready for the baby. Only thing I need is a double stroller since Amelia doesn't walk much at the malls.
But I doubt we'll even be going to the mall after all these babies.

My purse business is going great. Except for the snow this weekend. It ruined everything. No vendors. :(
I'm counting down the days to get this baby out.

I wish I could get him out myself...lol

RIP to my beautiful Niece...

She was born Dec 20, 2006 and passed on March 9, 2007. Not even 3 months old.
I hadn't seen her in over a month because of a fight I had with my sister in law.
My husband got to see her on friday and played with her. He said she was so chunky.
Well that same night her dad fell asleep with her in the bed and rolled over on her and suffocated her.
My mother in law lives with them and she had asked my nephew to check on the baby he said she's not there.
So she went upstairs and my brother in law did not answer. She opened the door and noticed him laying on top of her.
She tried to wake him up for some time. Then they called 911. They had them do CPR until they got there. But when they got they there they kept trying and nothing. She had been dead for about 45 min. We are all devastated. Her viewing and funeral are tomorrow.
What a shame!!! Such a short life she lived. We will always love her.

Baby Shower at work yesterday

I got a shower yesterday at work. I was surprised even though I've heard it was coming soon. Anyway, they called me in for cake because of someone's birthday. I didn't think anything of it because it was a snow day and I knew no one was going to be carrying stuff around in the snow.
So I walk towards the kitchen and I see the door half way shut. I knew something was up. I was so embarrassed to walk in. I walked in and everyone said happy shower. Although I'd been thru this before at work with Deija and Amelia. It felt like the first time. I asked if I had to open them in front of everyone. They said yes you have to. Then I said stop looking at me...lol I was acting like a school kid. I just wanted to hide. I guess because of so many of the Big Wigs (bosses) were there. Well I got a gift card to target for $200. I got avent bottles, baby clothes, socks, bibs, blankets, sneakers, that thing so the baby doesn't roll (forgot what it’s called). I can't remember what else but everything was so nice.

My rough weekend at 33 weeks.

I woke up with heartburn on friday night. I took some Maalox and again I started vomiting. I was up all night from 2am until the morning doing nothing but vomiting and screaming in pain.
I finally decided to go to the ER at 8am. I didn't have anything left in my stomach and still the pain wouldn't go away.
I went to the nearest hospital because I thought since it was non-maternity related I could go to a different (closer) hospital. Well when I got there they wouldn't see me at their ER. They wheel chaired me to the maternity floor. I was so embarrassed because I knew it was stupid that I was up there. Plus the baby was okay.
Well they opened the doors the their maternity section and a woman was in labor. She was screaming and they were counting and telling her to push. I started crying in fear and kept telling them I'm not ready for this and I want to leave. Nothing is wrong with my baby. That is not why I'm there.
Well they put me on the monitor and I was having huge contractions. I always have them so its not biggie. I don't even feel them. But they said its from vomiting so much that causes contractions.
Then I vomited a few times while there until the bag of fluids was done. I fell asleep during the second bag. They gave me some ginger ale and if I didn't puke I could go home.
The pain was all gone after the IV so I went home.
I was so scared to eat all day. This was the third time in 2 weeks that I'd been up vomiting. I don't know what it is.
My cervix is still 1cm dilated so that's good.
